The future of fruit fly control in Australia lies in the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT): it is the only non-pesticide option that can totally eliminate pest populations. Millions of dollars have already been invested to establish an SIT program against Queensland fruit fly (Q-fly) in southern and eastern Australia, but this program is currently largely ineffective due to the poor performance of the mass-reared sterile flies. This project will apply genetic, ecological and technical solutions to the problems facing the current Q-fly control program. Effective control of Q-fly will enhance the international competitiveness of Australia's horticultural industries.

澳大利亚果蝇防治的未来在于不育昆虫技术(SIT)：这是唯一可以完全消除害虫种群的非杀虫剂选择。澳大利亚已经投入数百万美元在澳大利亚南部和东部建立防治昆士兰果蝇(Q-Fly)的SIT计划，但由于大规模饲养的不育果蝇表现不佳，该计划目前基本上无效。该项目将应用遗传、生态和技术解决方案来解决当前Q-Fly控制计划面临的问题。有效控制Q-Fly将提升澳大利亚园艺产业的国际竞争力。
